Western Digital hard drives are preferred by most users when it comes to life span compared to Seagate drives. While Seagate read-write operations have faster speed due to its good stability.
On my opinion and experience between the two, WD is more life span and durability. Until now i used my Old WD and the other one was dead (Seagate) .
speaking from experience, parehas lang sila. nasa kung papaano mo ingatan, di yung nababagsak or nadadaganan. meron akong dalawang 2tb ext hdd, seagate at wd. 4 yrs na pareho oks pa naman
Currently using external 2 WDs, 2TB 3.5" and 1TB 2.5" portable, both going 4 years na without any issue.
Yung 2.5" 640GB na Seagate after 5 years nagloloko na.
WD ang external ko na 1TB, 6 years na yung akin and walang naging issue
sa ngayon, 1 year na rin yung internal 3.5" HDD ko na WD Black and Seagate Barracuda
parehas 100% health pa rin and walang issues
nasa pag-iingat lang din talaga lods
kasi kahit anong ganda ng bagay, kung burara yung gumagamit eh— hindi talaga tatagal
